Marcus Mariota’s once supernova star status seems to be dimming a bit in Tennessee. Some fans are grumbling after Mariota’s shaky performance and injury in the Titans loss in Week 1. Mariota needs a bounce-back performance when the Titans face the Houston Texans in a AFC South contest on Sunday (10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET, CBS, DirecTV or try FuboTV (free trial).

Mariota struggled again in the Titans 27-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He completed 9-of-16 passes for 103 yards, but he threw interceptions on back-to-back plays after sustaining an elbow injury. Mariota is expected to play when the Titans (0-1) face the Texans, but he needs a solid performance and the Titans need to win to avoid potentially falling two games behind first-place Jacksonville.

Mariota posted his worst season as a pro in 2017, throwing a career-high 15 interceptions. His accuracy was inconsistent, and those same issues surfaced again in the loss to the Dolphins.

The loss to the Dolphins can’t be laid at Mariota’s feet. The Titans receivers produced inconsistent performances and Mariota’s favorite target, tight end Delanie Walker, suffered a season-ending broken ankle in the game.

The Texans (0-1) are looking for quarterback Deshaun Watson to improve after he had a shaky outing in the loss to the New England Patriots. Watson completed just 50 percent of passes (17-of-34, 176 yards, one touchdown pass, one interception) against the Patriots and looked indecisive throughout the game.

Watson, who fumbled a handoff to running back Lamar Miller on the first play from scrimmage, seemed to gain more confidence and grew more comfortable as the game continued.
